Yoo Seung Min (42), former president of the Korea Table Tennis Association, visited Park Chang-beom, former president of the Korea Wushu Association, who is on a hunger strike against Lee Ki-heung's third consecutive term as president of the Korea Sports Association.

On the morning of the 1st, Yoo visited Park, who has been on a hunger strike for 10 days after setting up a tent in front of the office of the Korean Olympic Committee in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and expressed his sympathy. Chairman Yoo visited Park's tent, which declared his challenge side by side, ahead of the official press conference for the presidential bid at the Plaza Hotel in Seoul at 10 a.m. on the 3rd.

Park's tent, which has been in a sit-in since the 22nd of last month against Lee's third term, has become a venue for the 42nd election of the chairman of the Korea Sports Council 'Ban Ki-heung' candidate alliance. Starting with honorary professor Kang Shin-wook at Dankook University on the 25th, Kang Tae-sun, chairman of the Seoul Sports Council on the 28th, former Incheon Mayor Ahn Sang-soo on the 29th, and Yoo on the same day, four candidates expressed their support for Park's 「Fight」. Among the candidates, there was an atmosphere to publicly certify Chairman Lee Ki-heung's opposition to his third consecutive term and his will to reform the sports world through a visit to the Nongseong tent. It remains to be seen whether the alliance of `anti-Lee Ki-heung' will lead to a single candidate.



Current and former lawmakers are also visiting. On the 27th of last month, Jin Jong-oh, a member of the People's Power, visited the tent and Ahn Min-seok, a former member of the Democratic Party of Korea, visited the tent on the 30th.
